Words are not enough to express what a true joy it has been to work with Cyd over the past few years. I first reached out to her in 2016 to schedule an engagement shoot for my fiancé, Christopher, and I. Due to Christopher's demanding work schedule and other unforeseen events, we were unable to finalize a date until the past summer. Cyd was nothing short of patient and extremely accommodating during this lapse in time. We finalized a date and Cyd met us at sunrise to capture the best lighting at the venue we chose in Louisiana. Within just a few moments of working with her, Christopher expressed how laid back she was to work with and fun to be around. This says a lot coming from him and Cyd truly had us grinning from ear to ear the entire session. We decided to ask if she'd be willing to travel to our destination wedding in Texas and of course, she said yes. *Thank the Lord!* Fast forward to the day of our wedding - Cyd arrived to take shots of my bridesmaids and I getting ready. They quickly expressed their thrill of working with her as well. She is SO MUCH FUN to be around and did an exceptional job of getting everyone where they needed to be, and when, to ensure our list of desired photos were taken care of. Later into the evening, she handed me a few polaroid shots of photos she had taken and I thought this was so sweet and thoughtful. She had a blog post of photos available to us online within two days after the event. Just looking through these photos alone - our family and friends, and Christopher and I, completely cried and laughed all over again. Happy tears, of course! I feel like it is easy for anyone to pick up a camera and snap photos, but Cyd goes above and beyond to capture every emotion and moment, big or small. There was not one detail that was missed from our wedding day. We will cherish and look back on our collection of photos forever. Simply put, if you're not booking Bayou Rose Photography to capture your event, you are doing it all wrong.

We love Cyd!!! She was incredibly kind, patient, professional, skilled, and super helpful in walking us through all of the steps in preparing for and downloading our engagement photos and our wedding ceremony + reception photos. She was such a sensitive and resilient presence throughout our time working with her, making a genuine effort to connect with us personally and persisting through all challenges with a sense of humor. We could always count on her to communicate clearly and quickly with us throughout the different stages of working together. Not least of all, we loved her photos, which included a great mixture of classic and more "artsy" perspectives to choose from (and all for a very reasonable price). We can't thank her enough for helping us capture this special time in our lives in such a beautiful way. Highly recommended!

For your own good, use Bayou Rose Photography. I cannot type into words how awesome Cyd is. Picking a photographer for our wedding was a huge deal, and we hit the jackpot. Cyd has become a friend for life. Looking through our pictures, it feels like we are back on our wedding day. Cyd is detailed, timely, and so easy to work with. I have told all our friends about her. I don't care if we are taking pictures to send to our land lord about what is wrong with the apartment, we are using Cyd. Lol.

Thanks for making our day great!
